11、e look more youthful.The wearable film, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has shown promise in a series of small experiments where it was applied to wrinkles, under-eye bags and areas of dry skin. When applied to the face or body, the thin, transparent layer sticks to the

12、 skin and supports the tissue, making it look and behave like younger skin, its producers claim.“What weve been able to do is create a cream that you can put on the skin, and then when its on the skin it can actually form, essentially, an elastic second skin,” said Bob Langer, who led the research.

13、Tests in the lab found that the polymer film (高分子膜), which is only 70 thousandths of a millimeter thick, reduced the appearance of wrinkles and under-eye bags, and helped keep moisture (水分) in areas of dry skin.The layer is designed to be applied in the morning, then peeled off at night, In previous

14、 studies, the second skin withstood normal daily wear, and the stresses and strains of exercise and swimming, without falling off or causing irritation. It also survived exposure to rain.“Its something you can wear for a whole day or longer, depending on the physical forces that get applied to the a

19、erribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye con

20、tact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I dont know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was becau

21、se, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didnt want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips,

22、 too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family

23、. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that Id never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlo

24、cked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.1、What had happened to the man before?AHe had been badly treated.BHe had killed someone.CHe had b

27、Oscar Pistorius was convicted (證明有罪的)murder last month, the judge described the case as a “human tragedy of Shakespearean proportions”. The Paralympic athletes fall from grace made this comparison appropriate: overcoming severe disability to reach “Olympian heights”, falling in love with a beautiful

28、 model, and, in a coincidence that wouldnt be out of place in one of the plays, taking her life on Valentines Day. Mr. Pistoriuss tragic flaw was that he was an excessive paranoia（偏執狂）, which showed itself in an enthusiasm for guns.Mr. Pistoriuss case is, indeed, peculiarly Shakespearean. But Justic

29、e Eric Leach, who delivered the judgment, is but one of those who have turned to the playwright in times of legal need. In 2012, Britains High Court quoted “King Lear” in a trial regarding a “threatening” joke on Twitter they eventually overturned a conviction on the grounds that social-media users

30、“are free to speak not what they ought to say, but what they feel”. A choice snippet of “Hamlet” (“a little patch of ground that hath no profit in it but the name”) was quoted in a 2008 boundary dispute. “Henry VIII” was called forth by Senator Sam Ervin Jr during the Watergate hearings. The condemn

31、ation of Dzokhar Tsarnaev, involved in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, was sealed with lines from “Julius Caesar”: “the evil that men do lives after them; the good is often buried with their bones.”Lawyers love of Shakespeare is appropriate given that more of his lines are devoted to discussing l

32、aw than any other profession. Some think his knowledge of the law was so detailed that the “real” Shakespeare must have been a lawyer. A study by Scott Dodson and Ami Dodson published last year set out to discover “the most literary justice” of those currently sitting(開庭), and which authors were reg

33、ularly turned to for quotable wisdom. The “most abundant citer and the widest read” was found to be Antonin Scalia, and no surprise William Shakespeare topped the list of the often-quoted, along with Lewis Carroll. Both Shakespeare and Carroll accumulated sixteen references from five justices. Other

34、 popular authors among the bench were George Orwell, Charles Dickens, Aldous Huxley and Aesop.The words of Shakespeare are likely to be sounded around courtrooms for decades to come as many universities particularly in America and Britain have included him in their law courses. Harvard Law School of

35、fers a seminar which focuses entirely on “justice and morality in the plays of Shakespeare”. Kings College Londons “Shakespeare and the Law” model is co-taught by the Literature and Law faculties, and explores “the role of the law in mediating the place of the individual within society”. There are s

36、ensible reasons behind this; the University of Southampton, in line with recent studies, states that it offers the opportunity to study law through a literary prism of Shakespeare, Dickens, Kafka and others in order to “help law students to become more ethically sharp”. A study argues that reading l

37、iterary fiction makes people show empathy, challenge prejudice, and be more flexible in their decision-making. A literary sensibility enables lawyers to present clear, structured opinions and briefs.But what is it about the work of Shakespeare, in particular, that lends itself to legal quotation and

38、 reflection? After all, as Robert Peterson pointed out in “The Bard and the Bench”, all 37 of Shakespeares plays have been quoted by American courts, in over 800 judicial opinions. One answer lies in the fact that Shakespeares status embodies high culture; quoting him seeks to invest the judgment wi

39、th credibility and induce a sense of history. Mr. Peterson notes that this can “drive decisions in authentic ways”. Another option is Shakespeares universality everyone has either read, or claims to have read, plays like “Hamlet”. His works have become globally shared; the term “Shakespearean traged

40、y” induces a rise-and-fall story even if the listener is not familiar with the works themselves. The horrifying details of Mr. Pistoriuss actions on that night, placed in a familiar Shakespearean frame, helps members of the court, and the public, to make sense of the unnecessary bloodshed.1、Why is O

Astronomers at

46、the NASA have discovered no less than seven roughly Earth-sized worlds orbiting a dwarf star in the system. Scientists had previously identified a tiny number of exoplanets, which are believed to have the qualities needed to support life. However, the new system contains an unprecedented(前所未有) numbe

47、r of Earth-sized, probably rocky planets, and is being acknowledged as an accelerated leap forward in the search for extraterrestrial (外星球的)life.Three of the new planets are said to be particularly promising because there might exist oceans. Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA, told a

48、press conference in Washington: This gives us a hint that finding a second Earth is not a matter of if, but when.The planets were discovered using NASAs Spitzer Space Telescope, which was able to track how fast each of the planets crossed the star Trappist-l and completed an orbit. From this the res

49、earch team calculated how far the planets were from their star, and therefore how likely they are to be habitable.NASAs Hubble Space Telescope is already being used to search for atmospheres around the planets. Future telescopes, including the proposed European Extremely Large Telescope and the Jame

50、s Webb Space Telescope, may be powerful enough to discover markers of life, such as oxygen in the atmospheres of exoplanets.Astronomers believe there could be as many as 2 billion potentially habitable worlds in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Prof Zurbuchen said that now was a gold-rush phase in the sea

53、a” in Renaissance Europe and cooler temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere. This was a world in the midst of the Little Ice Age and a period of vast European exploration now known as the Age of Discovery.But what if we could look 500 years into the future and glimpse the Earth of the 26th centu

54、ry? Would the world seem as different to us as the 21st century would have seemed to residents of the 16 century? For starters, what will the weather be like?Depending on whom you ask, the 26th century will either be a little chilly or extremely hot. Some solar output models suggest that by the 2500

55、s, Earths climate will have cooled back down to near Little Ice Age conditions. Other studies predict that ongoing climate change and fossil fuel use will leave much of the planet too hot for human life by 2300. Some experts date the beginning of human climate change back to the Industrial Revolutio

56、n in the1800s, others to slash-and-burn agricultural practices in prehistoric times. Either way, tool-wielding humans alter their environment and our 26th century tools might be quite impressive indeed.Theoretical physicist and futurist Michio Kaku predicts that in a mere 100 years, humanity will ma

In other words, well become a species that can use the entire sum of a planets energy, mastering clean energy technologies such as fusion and solar power. Furthermore, theyll be able to handle planetary energy

58、 in order to control global climate.Technology has improved significantly since the 1500s, and this pace will likely continue in the centuries to come. Physicist Stephen Hawking proposes that by the year 2600, this growth would see 10 new theoretical physics papers published every 10 seconds. If Moo

59、res Law holds true and both computer speed and complexity double every 18 months, then some of these studies may be the work of highly intelligent machines.What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will rea

Humans will farm the oceans, travel in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos.1、Why does the author mention the Little Ice Age i
